S ecification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERRY H. BAYLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at \Vest Alexandria, in the county of Preble and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gaseous- FuelMixers, of which the following isa specification, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in mixers, and more particularlyto mixers which are adapted for use in connection with intake pipes ofcarbureters, of motorcycles or automobiles.

An object of this invention is the provision of a mixing device forengagement in the. intake pipe of a carburetor, the device including aframe in which is mounted a pluralit of foraminated cones which willthoroug ly mix the particles of gasolene and air passing through thepipe.

Another ob ect of this invention is the provision of a mixer of thischaracter which may be readily inserted into or removed from the intakepipe of a carburetor, and one which will be very efiicient in use.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in thenovel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fullydescribed, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, inwhich,

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the intake pipe of acarbureter showinmy improved device mountedtherein; an Fig. 2 is an endview of my device.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates theintake pipe of 'a carburetor in which my improved mixer is mounted, thedevice comprising a plurality of spaced parallel bars 2 whichfrictionally engage the inner wall of the pipe. Connected to theopposite ends of the bars 2 are foraminated cones 3, the cones beingsecured to bars, with their apices opposed to each other and extendinginwardly of the bars. Secured to the bars intermediate of their ends, isa pair of foraminated conesv 4, the edges of the bases of the conesbeing opposed and engaged against each other, so that the apices of thecones extend toward the oppo- 4 site ends of the bars.

The lowermost cone-3 is provided at the edge of its base with a radiallyextending apertures 6 therein, the flange being positioned between themeeting edges of the intake pipe 1 and the body 7 of the carburetor,the'intake pipe and the body of the carbureter also having laterallyextending apertured lugs 8 at diametrically opposite points, theopenings in the lugs 8 and the apertures 6 being adapted to-register toreceive the bolts 9, whereby the meeting ends of the intake pipe and thebody of the carbureter are secured together with the flange of the mixerinterposed therebetween. It will be seen that before the flow ofgasolene and air through the carburetercan pass into the cylinders ofthe engine, the same must pass through my improved attachment. Inpassing through the plurality of foraminated cones, the particles ofgasolene and air are thoroughly mixed to provide athoroughly combustiblemixture for the cylinders.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to claim andsecure by Letters Patent, is

In a device of the character described, the combination with a fuelintake pipe, of a sectional fuel mixer arranged within the pipe, saidmixer comprising a plurality of spaced elongated parallel bars adaptedto frictionally engage against the inner face of the pipe, foraminatedcones connected at the edges of their bases to the bars at theiropposite ends, said cones being arranged with their apices extendinginwardly of the bars, and a pair of foraminated cones connected at theedges of.their bases to the bars midway of their ends, the apices of thelast mentioned cones extending outwardly of the bars whereby the sameare opposed to the apices of the cones c afiried on the ends of thebars, said bars being of-suflicient length whereby the apices of theintermediate cones are spaced from the apices of the end cones, thelowermost cone-having its marginal portion provided with an annularflange adapted to be extended between adjacent extremities of thesectional intake pipe.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses. PERRY H. BAYLEY. Witnesses:
